IK Multimedia Tone X One?

[Vic Winters]

I will buy one the day they add MIDI capability. Even if it requires a dongle like Source Audio.

I am getting along with mine.

Hey, I'm thinking about a Tonex One to augment my HX Stomp, hoping to solve my problem with quickly hitting the Stomp's limits with dual amp patches. I'd just run it in the FX loop basically. But I'd like to buy one with the intent of returning if I'm not happy with how it integrates with the Stomp etc, and so I'd rather not go through all the registration and software setup before knowing...

...so are the built-in, default captures decent enough to give me an idea on the Fender black panel, Vox AC, and the Marshal JCM tones it can offer?

Also, do those built-in captures sound good with the cab off? My very vague impression from reading here is that you can have Pedals+Amp DI captures, Pedals+Amp+Cab captures, and then "merged" [Pedals+Amp]+[Cab] captures, and that the cabs can be removed from the chain in merged captures, but it might not sound great when you do that? I've never used captures before, so please excuse my ignorance!

With captures, you can't really say "do the factory ones give me a good idea of what to expect" because it's not like a model. Maybe the built in captures used a setting or mic or cab I don't like but someone on ToneNet used one I like better.

The general consensus is that trying to remove the cab of a full signal chain capture does not work well. You'll be better off just keeping the fill signal chain or getting a specifically made DI capture

DI capture

And there's tons of DI free captures on Tonenet.

Yeah, that makes sense! I was planning on avoiding any cab sim in the Tonex One and handling that in the Stomp in order to help mitigate the lack of MIDI, but I guess I can just try it with the full chain first and go from there before registering it and all that. Thanks!

Huh? If they were talking about the Ampero Stomp / Stage, they have some of the best UX of the bunch IMO.

I agree. The Ampero Stage has a fantastic UI. Best I've seen in years actually. It's sound is lacking compared to, say, Kemper though. Plus I had a bad buzz in mine that I couldn't filter out.

 

[JCW308]

Sure, buy one of these. Then another for drive/distortion then put a decent delay/ reverb pedal with them…juggle the power supplies and cables….

Or just plug in a Kemper Player and, you know, play….

This is so true. Love mine!

Hello,
monitoring ON/OFF does not work here.

I'm alone?

Some new functionality is unlocked with the Midichief app. Possible to use bluetooth midi pedals and be able to control it with more than one button:

Oh wow, this really starts to become an interesting thing...

That is pretty awesome with the Bluetooth footswitch control. Not sure how I’d feel gigging a bunch of USB-C cables.

Coincidental I had just ordered the M-vave Chocolate Plus midi pedal and I was considering the ToneX One. Already have the ToneX Pedal (hanging in a loop on the Helix Rack) and I think that's still better value than the One. No need for an android device running Midi Chief and it has a (albeit pretty old school) screen that shows the preset name/parameter value.

Only one usb-c cable is needed, between phone and ToneX One to translate the midi messages to commands for the ToneX. The Chocolate pedal is wireless midi with built in battery that last quite some time.

 

[pipelineaudio]

How do I control this with the Helix's MIDI? I do have some Yamaha MIDI to bluetooth transmitters, I wonder if that would do it

 

[mojozart]

Can anyone provide more details about the protocol?

I assume a USB MIDI Host connection is needed.

I guess the protocol is either MIDI Sysex or HID.

 

[norminal]

Well this is interesting:



Edit: Nevermind. Apparently this method requires a mobile device to communicate from the foot switch to the TONEX One.
